NOTE
The coupling pin is correctly engaged if the
control pin (3) does not protrude out of its
guide.
DANGER
If the coupling pin drops out during towing, the trail-
er will work loose and can no longer be controlled.
Risk of accident!
The control pin (3) must not protrude out of its guide.
– Ensure that the coupling pin is engaged correctly.
If the coupling pin is not correctly engaged:
– Remove any items used to prevent the trailer from
rolling away.
– Move the truck with the trailer forwards approx.
1 m and then move it back slightly.
– On the coupling pin, check again that the control
pin does not protrude out of its guide.
– Remove any items used to prevent the trail-
er from rolling away.
– Tow the trailer.
Closing the coupling
DANGER
Risk of injury from hand becoming trapped!

ple, a tow rope is to be secured in the tow coupling,
only actuate the tow coupling via the closing lever
(1).
– Press the closing lever (1) downwards as
far as it will go.
The tow coupling is closed.
Uncoupling the trailer
– Take measures to prevent the trailer from
rolling away, e.g. using wedges.
– Push the hand lever (2) upwards until it
snaps into place.
The tow coupling is opened.
– Slowly drive the truck forwards until the tow-
bar eye and towing jaws are disconnected.
